Up to 30% Lower Cost, Over 100X Power Reduction Highlight New Benefits for Low-density PLD Designers

Poing, December 16, 2010

Avnet Memec introduces the new MachXO2™ PLD family of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), which offers designers of  low-density PLDs an unprecedented mix of low cost, low power and high system integration in a single device. Built on a low power 65-nm process featuring embedded Flash technology,  the MachXO2 family delivers a 3X increase in logic density, a 10X increase in embedded memory, more than a 100X reduction in static power and up to 30%  lower cost compared to the MachXO™ PLD family. In addition, several popular  functions used in lowdensity PLD applications, such as User Flash Memory (UFM), I2C, SPI and timer/counter, have been hardened into the MachXO2 devices, providing designers a “Do-it-All-PLD” for high volume, cost sensitive designs.

Three Product Options For Maximum Flexibility

The MachXO2 family offers three options for maximum flexibility. MachXO2 ZE devices range from 256 to 7K look-up tables (LUTs), operate off a nominal 1.2V power supply, and support system performance up to 60MHz. With power specified as low as 19uW and packages as small as 2.5mmx2.5mm, the MachXO2 ZE devices are optimized for cost-sensitive, low power consumer design applications such as smart phones, GPS devices and PDAs.

MachXO2 HC devices range from 256 to 7K LUTs, operate off a nominal 3.3V or 2.5V power supply, and support system performance up to 150MHz. Offering up to 335 user I/O and a robust design solution (instant-on, non-volatile, input hysteresis and singlechip), these devices are ideal for control applications in end markets such as telecommunications infrastructure, computing, industrial and medical equipment.

MachXO2 HE devices range from 2K to 7K LUTs, operate off a nominal 1.2V power supply and support system performance up to 150MHz. These devices are optimised for power sensitive system applications.

Availability

MachXO2 LCMXO2-1200ZE and LCMXO2-1200HC devices are now available as Alpha samples, with engineering sample devices scheduled to be available in December 2010 and production devices available in March 2011. All members of the MachXO2 family are expected to be shipping in production by the end of Q3 2011. For more information about the Lattice MachXO2 PLD family, visit www.latticesemi.com/machxo2.
